I keep saying I want to come watch you at the track but never seem to remember to find out when you're racing.

I never know myself. LOL
Huh? Guys were running 200 mph on Busas back in 1999.

Lee Shierts:
Back in 1999 it was Lee Shierts that laid down the first official 200 mph pass on the 'Busa at Maxton, North Carolina. Lee currently holds the Maxton track record at the event at 260 mph. Lee talked to us about the 1999 bike and the Rich Yancy 260 mph machine: _"The 1999 bike was making about 188 hp at the rear tire with internal engine mods-that bike went exactly 200.00 mph.
The 260 mph 'Busa wasn't a super high tech bike. It was rather a highly refined package. It used a Power Commander II and didn't have a multistage boost controller other than my butt and throttle hand. We ran the bike at about 24psi and it made about 500 hp at that boost."
Stay alert: we are talking 1/4 mile. LOL
Yeah some time we ramble a bit. LOL
I just made a trade for an early Busa without the later smog stuff and without the limiter that came in the later stuff. Aluminum sub frame and all. I'll need some Plastic before I get to 200 though. LOL
Pick it up tomorrow!
Pick it up tomorrow!
I imagine you know but for the guys that don't, Maxton track is about two miles long with a mile timed portion.
Where do you typically go?
